Metallics TP306SPC – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is the TP306SPC screw a tamper-resistant drive, and what driver does it need?
Yes, the TP306SPC uses a spanner tamper-resistant head, the style with two round holes in the face rather than a slot or cross recess. A standard flat, Phillips, or hex driver won't turn it; you need a spanner (snake-eye) bit sized for the two-pin pattern. That is the point of it on public-facing cover plates and enclosures, where you don't want the plate coming off with a pocket screwdriver.
2) Will an 8-32 x 1/2 inch spanner screw hold a standard wall plate on a device box?
Yes. Wiring devices and switch or receptacle plates in North America use 6-32 and 8-32 threads, and the 8-32 x 1/2 inch length on the TP306SPC covers the shallow 8-32 prep found on box ears and plate hardware. Check what thread is already in your plate first: if the existing screw is 6-32, this one will not start in it.
3) How many screws come in a box of Metallics TP306SPC?
Each box holds 100 pieces of the 8-32 x 1/2 inch spanner-head machine screw. That quantity suits securing a run of tamper-resistant cover plates across a building, which is the usual reason a property manager or electrical contractor buys them by the hundred rather than the handful.
4) What is the Metallics part number to order for these tamper-resistant 8-32 screws?
Order Metallics TP306SPC. That part number covers the 8-32 x 1/2 inch pan head spanner tamper-resistant machine screw in the 100 piece box.
